21st Century Blues. (Song c.2002. Words and music by Longball Lars.)
I've been walking in these old cowboy boots.
Trying to hitch hike just gives me the blues.
No one stopping by the side of the road.
Eighteen wheelers pulling twice the load
On the interstate federal freight don't be late or hesitate
What's a ramblin man to do?
Got them honky tonk man in the 21st century blues.
Well, I kicked off the rug - went on the road to sing my song
Gotta find me a place that still knows right from wrong.
But what the news said, made me stop and think.
Pass me the jug 'cause I need a drink.
It was hard drives and megabytes - websites online
Nerds have somehow become cool.
What's a honky tonk man in the 21st century to do?
Old fellas still remember how to spit shine their shoes.
But now, that's not pleasing and without a reason
Cowboys are wearing platform boots.
I said, ew- ew - ew - ew...
In these changin days some things remain the same.
Like a honky tonk man drinkin whiskey to ease the pain
But now they're prescribing prozac pills,
And old Jack Daniels' headin' for the hills.
His wife said, "Honey gotta have ya - just take this viagra
And check out these silicon boobs."
What's a honky tonk man in the 21st century to do
Hey Willie Nelson,"I'm on the road again with 21st century blues
Lord, I got'em ...
Got them honky tonk man in the 21st century blues.
I'll Be Over You... (Song c.1996)
I knew right from the start
You had a cruel - cruel heart
But you looked so lonily standing in the lost and found.
We all pay for the seeds we've sown
There's but one thing that keeps me going.
I'll be over you when you're 6 ft. in the ground.
Your hairs' as coarse as a brush
Your pale face won't carry a blush
I've seen shorter ears on an aging bloodhood.
Not to mention the rolls and rolls of fat
Which leads me to the conclusion that,
I'll be over you when you're 6 ft. in the ground.
At our wedding the minister made a toast
As he summoned the Holy Ghost
He proclaimed your ugliness to be profound.
I curse young Cupid's bow
And there's one thing that I know,
I'll be over you when your 6 ft. in the ground.
I drink like a fish to forget.
At night, I wake up in a sweat
I see you sleeping beside me - safe and sound.
'Til your snoring causes the curtains to sway.
I doze off into a dream of the day
I'll be over you when your 6 ft. in the ground.
Our dog bit me on the leg
Then rolled over and started to beg
Pleading with me to take him to the city pound.
When you bend over he howls at the moon
While all the neighbors bark out the same tune.
I'll be over you when you're 6 ft. in the ground.
I've lost all my cherished friends
But, that's not where the story ends
There's a petition circulating all over town.
City Hall wants you declared a danger zone
And there's only one thing left worth knowing
I'll be over you when your 6 ft. in the ground.
Katherine Lake (1997 c. )
Katherine is the woman of my dreams
Then, she walked right throw the door
Life ain't what it seems,
You never know what's in store.
Like watchin' the clouds go by
They're heading east - oh my oh my
Katherine - You bin on my mind.
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8
How many days has it been.
Katherine - she just look at me and say,
"You can't fail, if you can't win."
Like watchin' the clouds go by
They're heading east, why don't you catch a ride
Katherine - oh me oh my
(Bridge/chorus)Oh, her love's the sunrise
I see in the morning sky
Her eyes - they sparkle
Her blushing smile - it shines...
One day I'll tell her what she means to me
And I know she'll say,"Don't it feel good to be free?"
Like watchin' the clouds go by
They're heading east - if I had wings I'd fly
To Katherine --- oh me oh my
Repeat chorus and fade
